Lake Norman Charter Wins Eighth-Straight Thanks to David Wignot
David Wignot's big game helped extend Lake Norman Charter's winning streak to eight on Friday. Nobody could stop Wignot as he threw for 232 yards and two touchdowns while completing 81.3% of his passes. He also deserves a shoutout for his performance on D, making nine total tackles and defending a pass.

Major Leak Turns in Season-Best Effort
On Friday, Lake Norman Charter got the W thanks in part to Major Leak playing the best football he has all season. Leak picked up 156 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He was no stranger to the big play, cutting upfield on a catch that went for 69 yards.
Leak might have his next game, a home matchup with Union Academy, circled on his calendar. Back in October of 2023 (the last time Leak saw the Cardinals), he picked up 182 receiving yards and three touchdowns.

Parker Frashier Delivers Best Performance of Season
